Kathie Lee & Hoda: Internet Singing Sensation Madi Lee
Madie Lee has been singing since she learned how to talk, and now, at only age 13, she is a full-fledged internet sensation, with her videos collecting over 7 million views. She covers popular songs from Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Justin Timberlake. Her and her mother, Vanessa Weiler, talked about Madi’s success and how she got to where she is now.
Madi Lee’s earliest singing experiences came from singing to her baby brother when he would be crying, which would make him immediately stop. You might be surprised to hear that Madi doesn’t come from a musical family, either. She is the only one in her family to have any discernible musical talent.
